I can definitely relate to where you are right now. I am IBS A, and my IBS has been in a flare for the past year after a viral infection. Sometimes it seems that my stomach feels upset no matter what I eat, and I too have cut far too many foods out. I also have mild post viral gastroparesis which makes me extremely full all the time, so I eat almost no protein (it makes it worse). My diet isn't quite as limited as yours, but I mostly subsist off my "safe" starches, veggies and fruits. I am definitely stuck in a rut and not getting enough fiber, fats or protein, but am afraid to try new things. If it's any consolation, my super sensitive stomach does tolerate carrots, pureed winter squash and sweet potatoes very well. Baby food is also a good way to get fruits, and I even add a little bit of the green baby veggies to my instant potatoes (they are a staple for me too lol). I too am afraid to eat in restaurants or have other people cook for me, because this all was triggered from a meal I ate at a restaurant. I wish I could offer more advice, but I can completely relate and sympathize with everything you're going through!
